Somehow I totally missed Rinda’s post announcing her annual Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt.
Better late than never, right?! I am WAY late in starting this but I have a feeling I’ll do ok. Check out the list…
1. A “wild heart” – a naturally occurring heart (like the rock above, but it doesn’t have to be a rock)
2. A footprint or pawprint
3. A skeleton, bone or x-ray
4. A book or magazine read during 2016
5. A porch or deck
6. A camper (caravan)
7. A family gathering
8. A drawing, art project, artistic photograph, scrapbook page, greeting card, or art journal page created by you.
9. Someone playing with, in, or around water.
10. A bicycle
11. Fresh produce
12. A window
13. The moon
14. A buffet of food
15. A team logo
16. A map showing a trip taken during the time period
17. Twins
18. A supermarket cart, basket or trolley full of groceries
19. A seasonal cocktail or beverage
20. Someone laughing
21. A photograph of you with a newspaper or calendar page from the time period covered in the Hunt. Note: you may not use a substitute for this item.
Alternatives – if you’re having trouble finding any of the above, you may substitute from this list (but you may not substitute for item #21):
alternative 1: a lighthouse
alternative 2: a baby (human or animal) -
Frugal frame fix. Say that five times fast!
Last summer I picked up a cool frame at an occasional shop not too far from here. I had the thought of stringing wire or perhaps even chicken wire (dang, just thought of that now) to create a changeable photo gallery piece.
I’ve reserved one section of wall for family photos, caricatures and memorabilia in the game area of our family room. This is an always changing wall, which I love.
Since the wall is so busy and colorful on it’s own I felt that black frames were the way to go.
Of course I never remember to wear gloves….
I’m pretty sure at any given time I have paint on me somewhere…whether its on my hands, nails, hair or clothes one just never knows.
This morning I got my supplies ready so I could finally get this project off the game table.
I stapled the bent wire across the frame on the back then curled each end to lock it into place.
Easy peasy right… One would think so. This was only after making my first mistake did I realize that I had to staple to the side wall of the frame…not straight down.
Crud…the staple went right through the front of the frame. Oh well, nothing a little bit of black paint won’t fix.
Perfect.
I’m thinking I may keep a box of favorite photos right here so it will be easy to switch them out.
